Contemporary Ceramics

This presentation will cover many of the current “hot topics” in current dentalceramics from minimally invasive veneer restorations, to full coverage monolithicceramic restorations. The lecture will discuss how to design and plan an estheticcase. It will also clarify the most appropriate clinical situations and restorativerequirements of the various ceramic systems from conventional feldspathicglass systems, glass ceramic systems, to solid sintered mono-phase Zirconiabased systems - both layered and newer higher translucent “monolithic” cubicphase zirconia materials. Clinical and esthetic guidelines for using these ceramicsystems will be discussed. This presentation will focus on specific clinicalindications and contraindications for the use of the various ceramic systems,specifically for no-prep, minimal prep, and normal prep veneers, inlay/onlay,“vonlay (combination of veneer and onlay), and crown clinical indications.
